The Minnesota Social Service Association (MSSA) supports health and human service professionals through education, advocacy, and member benefits. MSSA was established in 1893 as the Minnesota Conference on Corrections and Charities to share best practices from Minnesota and other states to improve care for clients. Today MSSA represents over 4,000 health and human service professionals from non-profit, for-profit, and government agencies. Our members work in all areas of human services including mental health, chemical health, aging, children’s services, unemployment, homelessness, and more.
Our mission: MSSA cultivates and mobilizes Minnesota’s health and human service professionals, students, and volunteers to advance social justice through education, advocacy, and building connections.
